Required Checks

check for breaking API changes in updated dependencies

Status: Verified

All three updated dependencies received patch or minor version bumps:

• lucide-react 1.39.0 → 1.40.0 (minor): This library follows semver and its minor bumps do not introduce breaking changes. The 1.40.0 release is a routine update.
• @​eslint/compat 2.1.0 → 2.1.1 (patch): Patch-level change with no API surface change.
• @​types/react-dom 19.2.5 → 19.2.7 (patch): Type definitions only; no runtime impact.

run full test suite after upgrade
